Friday Post: Premiere Pro

Dynamic Systems Slideshow

How Did I Make It?

1. I played the "Dynamic Systems" engineering game and took screenshots of each level (solved & unsolved) as well as the title screen
2. I took the images and put them in premiere pro 
3. I added a song and placed a few markers along the timeline for the intro
4. I added the images for the intro into the slideshow using the "automate to sequence" function
5. I blurred the entire intro and added a spinning title
6. I added the 10 level images on layers 1 and 2 (layer 1 solved, layer 2 unsolved)  
7. I made the images on layer 2 shrink, blur, and become transparent so that the images on layer 1 could be seen
8. I made the images on layer 1 grow, and become focused after the first set of images had become completely transparent (these images were never transparent so that the screen was never fully black)
9. I cut the song at the end in a spot that made the most sense and added a translucent image of Borzah Yankey 

Premiere Pro: IT So Far Slideshow

How Did I Make It?

1. I took 20 images and put them on the timeline with a speed/ duration of 00;00;00;10
2. I used "effect controls" to change their scale and position using keyframes at the start and end off their screen time to make the images zoom in and out of the faces in each image
3. I added a new text layer under "graphics" to write the title. I changed its colours using "stroke" & "fill." I also used " effect controls" again to change it's scale over the course of all ten images, so that it got larger and larger until it reached the end
4. I added the 20 images in again but this time with a speed/ duration of 00;00;01;00
5. I went to the "effects" tab and search "blur" in the search bar and added a Gaussian blur
6. I increase the blur until the shapes were recognizable but you couldn't see what they are fully
7. I changed the scale of the first image so that it got bigger over time. Then I copied and pasted the attributes of the first image to all of the others
   I added the 20 images again and changed their scale so that you can see the blurred images beneath them
8. I changed the position, and scale of each image so that it would either slide in the from top, bottom, left, or right of screen and zoomed in from being very small
9. I added transitions between the pictures from the "video transitions" folder so that the video had more flow
10. I added the rectangle boxes and text together as 1 graphic. I then used position keyframes to have them slide on & off of the screen. In the case of Donald Drumpf I used an ellipsis and changed the opacity's keyframes to make it fade in  
11. I the found the sound files for " Flex" and "See You Again" added them in
12. I cut the sound files so that the beat lined up and the song would end, then the next would start. I then used keyframes to make the first fade out as then second stared and then to make the second fade out as the video ended
13. I added a picture of Papa John and changed the "lumetri colour" to make the image red
14. I changed the volume using keyframes and added a scream so that Papa John would be spookier

9. I the found the sound file for " Soulja Boi" and added it in
10. I cut the sound file so that the beat lined up and the song would end by the end of the slide show
11. I changed the volume and bass using keyframes so that the last "YOU!" in the song was ridiculously loud

Friday Post: Photoshop 2

I stare out of the mirror & the muffin stares back

How was it done?

First I took the image of the mirror and copied the frame. This way I can put the eye-hand-man-thing into it without him being in front of the  mirror which is what I did second. Then I put in the solar flare background and multiply-blended it with the mirror. I then set the levels and hue/ saturation to give the mirror's frame a different colour. Next I put in the muffin and used the levels adjustment layer to give it a shadow. I then merged the layers (Alt + Ctrl + Shift + E) and converted them to a smart layer. I used the camera raw filter to sharpen the image and give a slight grainy texture over it. Then I used a gradient map at 13% opacity to slightly change the colour of the entire image.
